"Vergil doesn't have any malicious intent towards humans. He just doesn't care about them. What would his motivations be?"

I understand that Vergil is apathetic towards Humanity, though I admit that I may have exaggerated his distaste for humans. As for what motivations would he have if he were to be resurrected (again IF), it would be simple: re-establishing Sparda's kingdom (though in some different manner than he did with trying to get Force Edge (and by extension the Sword of Sparda) in DMC3) and if not that then perhaps take the Doctor Doom route and create a domain of his own to rule.

"You fail to acknowledge the good humanity is capable of, many of the things you named occurred because of the influence of a particular person, not the nature of ever[y] person involved."

It doesn't matter if only a small select influence others to do evil, passive compliance ("I was just following orders") also in the form of ignorance and/or rationalization ("we are justified in persecuting these people because the Bible tells us to") or failing to stop evil (an oft quoted phrase ascribed to (but not actually said by) Edmund Burke, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing") are just as reprehensible and thus they (the that being a large chunk of, but not the entire rest of, humanity) deserve to be lumped with that select few. Though that's not to say that self-interest can't channeled to beneficial ends (e.g. the Free Market and its paradox of how improving one's own position (getting income) results in benefitting others (providing new or improved products and services to help in response to certain situations) and that genuine altruism can't exist in the absence of Objective Truth and Objective Good (of which neither exists).
